The Steelers have adequate CB depth without Lewis...no one could have predicted the freakish rash of injuries at that position...

Allen, C. Brown, Van Dyke and Hawthorne...

Your kidding, right?

Allen is a 1st year starter, Brown / Van Dyke haven't proved much of anything in this league and Hawthorne has injury concerns and he's never played an NFL snap. Also, which guy do you move to the #2 spot next year when Ike is gone?

They were just safety help over the top, but Gay was burned from the start by five yards or so.

Nope, that's the play everyone is talking about. I watched the play a few times and can't for the life of me figure out why so many people are up in arms about it. Eli threw a great ball and he didn't just beat Gay deep, he beat both safeties deep. On top of that Gay was possibly a half step behind on arguably the best slot receiver in the NFL. I'm not worried about Gay but I never have been personally. I don't want the guy playing as a number 2 corner but he's a solid nickel and that's what they brought him in to the organization again.

My opinion of William Gay didn't start on Saturday so whether he was responsible for that TD or not doesn't matter. The guy isn't very good at all and I can't believe that we are 1 injury away from him being a #2.

Think about this.... last year, Sanders was our #3 WR. This year, it might be Wheaton or Cotchery. Whether it be Sanders (of last year), Wheaton, or Cotchery....Gay would likely be overmatched 9 out 10 times if our defense had to face our very own offense. He's a liability. If Ike and Allen can't stay healthy all year and Gay has to step into the #2 role, we're in trouble. If that happens, I'll be starting the opposing teams#2 WR in fantasy football
